Chapter 18: An Unexpected Surprise
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Hui didn't expect a three-year-old child to be so obedient. After the meeting ended, he slowly walked back.
He had already imagined all kinds of scenes in the office in his mind, which gave him a headache. He didn't want to go back and face it for a while.
He was a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia, but the road was so short. No matter how he walked, he would reach the office door very quickly.
Ye Hui stopped outside the door and sighed heavily. He twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open, then…
He was slightly stunned.
His office was still as clean as new. It was not as messy as he had imagined.
The little child was sleeping on the sofa, covered with a kind nurse's coat.
She was sleeping soundly on her stomach, her red lips smacking from time to time, and her pink and cute face was pressed against her small hand.
Ye Hui looked at her steadily, and then he couldn't help but reach out to poke her face.
So soft…
She looked a little cute. As expected, a child who was not pretentious was not annoying.
He could not help but poke it again.
Le Bao opened her eyes in a daze. Ye Hui froze and withdrew his hand in a daze.
Their eyes met. One of them was calm with a hint of panic, while the other was dazed with a hint of confusion.
'It's over,' Ye Hui thought.
This devilish brat was about to start crying. Just as he was on full alert and trying to defend himself, Le Bao opened her small mouth and yawned lazily.
"Ah... Ouch." Le Bao sat up with clothes draped over her, Her small hands rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Her stomach gave an untimely rumble, loud enough for both of them to hear.
Ye Hui was obviously stunned.
Le Bao's first reaction was to cover her little stomach, gurgling…
It was another empty city stratagem. Le Bao smiled sheepishly, raised her hand, scratched her head, and said righteously, "Big Brother, I'm hungry!"
After Ye Hui was stunned for a moment, he was baffled. "Then… Let's eat."
Director Ye, who ate in the cafeteria every day, suddenly had a little one beside him today. His colleagues who came and went all looked at him curiously.
From time to time, someone would stop and greet them. After a few simple conversations, they would start to probe the identity of the little one beside him.
"Doctor Ye, why did you suddenly bring a child to work today?"
"Doctor Ye, who is this little girl? So cute!"
"Doctor Ye, I haven't seen your daughter for a few days, and she's already so big!?"
Ye Hui was very uneasy during this meal. Every time someone came to ask, he had to put down his chopsticks and explain to the other party indifferently, "I didn't pick her up. She's not an illegitimate daughter or a neighbor's child. This is my sister, Le Bao."
"Wow!" Everyone's first reaction was to exclaim, then they praised her, "Little friend is so cute!"
"Doctor Ye actually has such a young sister!"
The siblings did not have any free time for this meal. Toward the end of the meal, Ye Hui simply put down his bowl and chopsticks and sat at the side waiting for her.
Le Bao ate in a very refined manner. She ate bit by bit with a small spoon. Because there were too many people coming to talk to her, she stopped eating repeatedly. After Ye Hui explained to those people, she politely called them uncle and auntie.
In order not to affect her eating. Ye Hui simply raised his hand from afar and made a gesture of rejection when someone tried to come over and talk.
Hurry up and finish it!
In Le Bao's understanding, Ye Hui's actions were sending her this message.
Hence, she sped up her eating and stuffed her mouth. Ye Hui watched her silently from the side. He frowned and knocked on the table. "Eat slowly."
Le Bao simply picked up the bowl and finished the remaining rice at the bottom of the bowl. "Big Brother, I'm done eating!"
"Yes…"
The results of the examination would come out around 4 pm. Ye Hui called Ye Chong.
"When are you coming to pick up Little Sister?"
Ye Chong was already in the car, speeding toward another city on the highway.
He replied without thinking, "You take her with you first. Ye Wei will be on a business trip for the next two days, and Ye Zhao will be going to the competition. I'm going to Feng City and there's no one to take her."
Ye Hui was silent. "How to take care of her?"
"Just take her out for a meal and don't run around." Ye Chong thought for a moment and added, "She had an allergic reaction to seafood yesterday. Can you make her some nutritious meals if you can?"
"Alright, I got it. I'll pick you up when I come back."
Ye Chong did not waste any time and ended the call.
He turned around and was about to push the door open to enter when he saw Le Bao standing behind him.
"You might have to stay with me for the next few days," Ye Hui said indifferently without any expression on his face. "If you need anything, just tell me."
Le Bao nodded and followed behind him.
Ye Hui had a meeting in the morning and had nothing to do in the afternoon. He spent most of his time in the office reading medical records.
For the first time, there was other noise in Ye Hui's cold office. Le Bao was comfortably lying on the sofa watching cartoons, and Ye Hui was reading quickly at the desk in the corner of her eye.
This brother was a good doctor, but his personality was a little too cold.
There was no real emotion on his face. Whether it was her or others, Ye Hui treated them with a natural coldness.
From time to time, some doctors or nurses would come in to discuss problems with Ye Hui. Le Bao sat alone on the sofa, some distance away from them. She saw that no one was paying attention to her.
Le Bao's little feet stretched forward and hooked the remote control into her hand. She then began to choose a movie to watch. She picked a foreign movie and played it with great interest.
This was a movie about a foreign gang. The movie was filled with all kinds of violent scenes of gunfights. The main characters of the movie were a bunch of blond foreigners. This was a story of revenge.
The main character was a foreigner, speaking in English without any Chinese subtitles.
Le Bao was lying on the sofa unsteadily, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her. Others probably thought that this was a movie that a child had randomly clicked out of boredom. They also did not think that a three-year-old child could understand such a movie that did not even have translated subtitles.
Le Bao was lying on the sofa, her little hands digging at her toes as she watched intently. The protagonist's hiding was discovered, and a wonderful chase was about to begin.
The tattered car sped along the empty street, followed by a black car.
Le Bao stopped pinching her feet. She held her breath and stared straight at the screen.
At the most exciting part, the screen suddenly changed. Against the blue background, a pink pig was running on the road, panting as it shouted, "Sister!"
"Big Brother!" Le Bao jumped up from the sofa. Who had switched the screen of her television?
She turned around and saw Ye Hui standing behind her with a remote control in his hand.
"Big Brother…" Le Bao called out again and pointed at the television softly. "I want to see the one just now!"
"What's there to see?" Ye Hui's cold and handsome face finally had another expression. He said disapprovingly, "Such a scary movie isn't suitable for you. Besides, can you understand it?"
Of course she understood!
